Coos Bay School District adopts $77.5 million budget and authorizes internal transfers
Summary
The Coos Bay School District board adopted a $77,524,363.36 budget for FY2025–26 and approved a separate resolution authorizing internal transfers to cover instructional and support services needs, while noting flat near-term state funding and staffing cost pressures.
The Coos Bay School District board on a voice vote approved the district’s fiscal year 2025–26 budget, adopting a total budget of $77,524,363.36 and listing fund totals that include a $43,945,335.36 general fund. The motion to adopt “resolution number 2025DashCode3” was made by a board member and seconded before members voiced their approval.
District staff told the board state revenues were up roughly 1.2 percent but that staffing costs are increasing toward 10 percent, and the FY2025–26 plan relied on a $1,000,000 transfer to capital projects to balance the budget. The administration also presented fund-level details: special revenue of about $16.26 million, debt service approximately $4.72 million, and capital projects at $1.97 million. Staff read the tax-rate language included with the resolution.
Later in the meeting the board adopted a second, separate resolution (identified in the packet as 2025-o4) authorizing appropriation transfers across funds. That action moves $1,000,000 within the general fund toward instruction and support services (with the administration describing $750,000 to instruction and $250,000 to support services as a precautionary reallocation) and reallocates $1,250,000 from the special revenue facility-acquisition account to support services to reflect grant and project spending patterns.
Board members asked whether district finances will worsen next year; staff said the budget is relatively flat in the first year of the biennium but that much depends on future state decisions and economic variables. Both the budget adoption and the appropriation-transfer resolution were approved by voice vote during the June meeting.
The district said auditors from Valley Financial were engaged for another year; next procedural steps include posting the adopted budget at the district office and proceeding with the administration’s long-range facility and financial planning.
